Sustainable Development Goals

On September 25, 2015, the UN General Assembly approved the „The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development“, which includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The SDGs seek to build on the Millennium Development Goals and complete what these did not achieve. The adopted Agenda is integrated and indivisible and balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic, social and environmental.

Goal 16. Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels

Goal 17. Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development

Relevance of the UNIDO vision of Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development (ISID) for the new global development architecture was confirmed as the UN Open Working Group on SDGs has proposed as goal 9 “Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation”.
